JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O volume e a massa das soluções de anestésico local (AL) influenciam a taxa de sucesso dos bloqueios periféricos. Desta forma, o objetivo principal do estudo foi determinar os volumes de anestésico local para o bloqueio do nervo isquiático (BNI) nas abordagens parassacral e infraglútea-parabiceptal. MÉTODO: Cento e um pacientes foram alocados aleatoriamente em 4 grupos e submetidos ao BNI nas abordagens infraglútea-parabiceptal ou parassacral, utilizando ropivacaína a 0,5% ou bupivacaína a 0,5% com adrenalina 5 µg.mL-1. Sucesso foi definido como bloqueio sensitivo e motor completo do nervo isquiático 30 minutos após a injeção do AL. Os volumes foram calculados pelo método up-and-down. RESULTADOS: Na abordagem parassacral o volume efetivo médio da ropivacaína foi 17,6 mL (IC 95%: 14,9 - 20,8) e da bupivacaína 16,4 mL (IC 95%: 12,3 - 21,9). Na abordagem infraglútea-parabiceptal o volume efetivo médio da ropivacaína foi 21,8 mL (IC 95%: 18,7 - 25,5) e bupivacaína 20,4 mL (IC 95%: 18,6 - 22,5). Volumes foram significativamente menores (p < 0,01) na abordagem parassacral comparativamente à infraglútea-parabiceptal. Na estimativa da regressão de Probits para volumes efetivos em 95% dos pacientes, os volumes na abordagem parassacral foram 21,8 mL para ropivacaína e 20,5 mL para bupivacaína; e na infraglútea- parabiceptal foram 27,2 mL na ropivacaína e 25,5 mL na bupivacaína. O volume efetivo em 99% dos pacientes no BNI parassacral para ropivacaína foi 24 mL e para bupivacaína 22,5 mL; e 29,9 mL de ropivacaína e 28,0 mL de bupivacaína no grupo infraglúteoparabiceptal. CONCLUSÕES: Foram necessários volumes significativamente menores na abordagem parassacral do BNI comparativamente à abordagem infraglúteaparabiceptal, mas os volumes anestésicos não diferiram entre os AL.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The volume and mass of local anesthetics (LA) affect the success rate of peripheral nerve blocks. Thus, the main objective of this study was to determine the volumes of local anesthetics in parasacral and infragluteal-parabiceps sciatic nerve block (SNB). METHODS: One hundred and one patients undergoing infragluteal-parabiceps or parasacral SNB with 0.5% ropivacaine or 0.5% bupivacaine with 5 µg.mL-1 of adrenaline were randomly divided into 4 groups. Success was defined as complete sensitive and motor blockades of the sciatic nerve 30 minutes after the administration of the LA. Volumes were calculated by the up-and-down method. RESULTS: In the parasacral approach, the mean effective volume of ropivacaine was 17.6 mL (95% CI: 14.9-20.8) and of bupivacaine it was 16.4 mL (95% CI: 12.3-21.9). In the infragluteal-parabiceps approach, the mean effective volume of ropivacaine was 21.8 mL (95% CI: 18.7-25.5), and that of bupivacaine was 20.4 mL (95% CI: 18.6-22.5). Volumes were significantly lower (p < 0.01) in the parasacral than in the infragluteal-parabiceps approach. In Probit regression, the estimated effective volume in 95% of the patients in the parasacral approach was 21.8 mL for ropivacaine, and 20.5 mL for bupivacaine; in the infragluteal-parabiceps approach the volumes were 27.2 mL for ropivacaine and 25.5 mL for bupivacaine. The effective volume in 99% of the patients in parasacral SNB was 24 mL for ropivacaine, and 24 mL for bupivacaine; and in the infragluteal-parabiceps approach, 29.9 mL for ropivacaine, and 28.0 mL for bupivacaine. CONCLUSIONS: In sciatic nerve block, significantly smaller volumes were necessary in the parasacral than in the infragluteal-parabiceps approach, but volumes did not differ between both LAs.
